Week 13 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
Week 13 was pretty random as far as quarterbacks went, with Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Ryan Tannehill, Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff finishing in the top-six. Patrick Mahomes only scored 19.32 fantasy points but his day could have been much bigger had Tyreek Hill's touchdown been properly called by the officials and counted. Darren Waller […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. (RB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Dolphins were extremely short-handed at running back in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals, which enabled versatile rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. to see the most opportunities of his young career thus far. Bowden only had one rush in […]
Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After all of the talk, discussion, doubts, etc... it turned out that Miami's benching of Tua in W12 was indeed related to injury rather than a bad level of play. That's why the Dolphins trusted Tua as their starter once more this past Sunday, […]

DeVante Parker Finishes With Four Receptions
Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was fairly disappointing during the Week 13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He hauled in four of his eight targets for 35 yards before being ejected in the second half. Parker likely would've had a much bigger impact, assuming he didn't get thrown out of the contest. Fantasy owners […]
Jakeem Grant Gets Targeted Six Times In Win
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. has been getting consistently targeted in this offense over the last month or so. That continued in Week 13, but sadly Grant wasn't able to do much damage. He hauled in two of his six targets for 42 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The ejection […]
Mike Gesicki Has Huge Game Versus Bengals
Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has finally been able to put together some fantasy value over the last few weeks. Gesicki put together a fantastic performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown in the win. DeVante Parker was ejected […]
Myles Gaskin Plays Well In Return
Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin returned from a four-game absence against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He stepped right back into the lead back role and didn't miss a beat. He rushed 21 times for 90 yards and hauled in two receptions for 51 yards through the air in the win. Fantasy owners […]
Tua Tagovailoa Throws For Nearly 300 Yards
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was in danger of sitting out during the Week 13 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Luckily, he played and performed well in this contest. He completed 26 of 39 passing attempts for 296 yards with one touchdown in the win. The first half was a struggle for Tagovailoa, but […]
DeVante Parker Ejected In Fourth Quarter
Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has been ejected in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Things were getting testy in the game and Parker was one of a few players to throw some punches. Fellow Dolphins receiver Mack Hollins was also ejected along with Parker. Parker finishes his day with […]
Salvon Ahmed Out For Week 13
Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. Myles Gaskin (knee) will play, and should see plenty of work this week, especially with Tua Tagovailoa starting at QB, which will lead to a more run-heavy game script for Miami. Consider Gaskin a strong RB2 option against a […]
Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Start In Week 13
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is officially active for the Week 13 contest against the Bengals. He's expected to be the starter over Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tua's the future in Miami, but this offense does play better with Fitzpatrick under center. His return lowers the fantasy ceiling for the Miami pass catchers, and even in […]
